- The initial population of the town is 80,000.

- The population decreases by 8% the first year:

- Calculation: 80,000 - (8/100 * 80,000) = 80,000 - 6,400 = 73,600.

- In the second year, the population increases by 5%:

- Calculation: 73,600 + (5/100 * 73,600) = 73,600 + 3,680 = 77,280.

- The final population at the end of 2 years is 77,280.

- Option 1: 76,150

- Option 2: 86,140
